great advise on pricing

I just read a blog post from my friend Steve and feel it is worth passing along....

From the Etsy mailed newsletter on pricing:

What's it Worth to You?Imagine if you will, a complete stranger asks you to create an
item (something you currently sell in your shop). That's not all, they want you to photograph, list and promote this item as well. Whew! "Is that all?", you ask. No, they have one more request: package that item, print a shipping label and drop it off at the post office. Now imagine they want you to do all this for the price you currently have this item listed for in your Etsy shop. Would you do it happily? Would you grumble? Would you deny this task altogether? Reality check: It's up to you to determine the value of your time and efforts. Make sure you are taking a step back from your work and your pricing and looking at it from all angles.

Bridget (and Steve),

These are all VERY relevant thoughts for those of us who sell our work in online venues.

Thanks for sharing!
